#4811: admin_level 7 and 8 not prioritized when they have the same name

Comment:
If two places have the same name, Nominatim normally uses Wikipedia to
figure out which place is more important. You can help it out by
explicitly adding a wikipedia tag to boundary relations.
In the case of Caen, it wrongly assigned the Wikipedia page of
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caen Caen] to the arrondissement instead of
the city, which is why it prioritized the county. I've just
[http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/15414468 added a wikipedia
tag] to the city relation and now the order of streets appears as
expected.
